Some random training room in Sanctum Academy.

Hours….he had been training for hours now. Hell, at this point it could have been days and he wouldn't even know. That bastard Ozpin showing up in the body of a kid? Then Ruby suddenly gets her team back and he is left with half the team he used to have. Not that he dislikes them, hell, he loves them like family. But he knows that they don't need him to be successful.

"Nobody needs weak ol' Jaune, right?" He chuckles sadly to himself as he stares down at over a dozen dead training bots.

Jaune sighs and lays back on the floor of the training area, eyes facing the ceiling as he waits for his ridiculously large aura to heal him up a bit while he downs some pain killers. What was the point of training if you didn't feel like your muscles were screaming at you to stop, right? Jaune couldn't help but wonder why he was even doing this, why he was even in Mistral. Was it because he wanted revenge against Cinder? Maybe to help Ruby? Or just because he didn't want to go home? He was lost...or was he? Honestly, neither him or the author knew at this point but all they knew is that Jaune's life was only bound to get more difficult from that point onward.

Jaune's thoughts were ended fairly abruptly when RWBY crashed through the door to the training area. Yang was just as obnoxious as she always was and the only difference in Weiss and Blake were that they had small smiles on their faces. Now Ruby? She was how she always is, seemingly quite happy with how things are going.

RWBY's boisterous conversation was rudely interrupted by a dismembered robot arm on the ground that made Yang trip. She landed with a crash, ending up entangled within a group of bot parts. Yang broke out of her dusty metal prison and took Ruby's offered hand, standing back up and dusting herself up.

"I wonder where these all came from. I'm pretty sure this was supposed to be empty when we got back?" Yang says, looking around at the destroyed bots.

"It probably has something to do with the Arc laying in the center of the carnage." Weiss states with her usual tone, you know, the one that makes it seem like she knows everything?

"Vomit-boy? There's no way he could've done this by himself. Did Ren and Nora help?" Yang asks, uncaring if Jaune hears or not.

"You know I can hear you, right?" Jaune sighed, sitting up, an odd expression on his face.

"Then tell me that Nora and Ren didn't help in any way. I can't believe that you could do this by yourself." Yang, looked down at the other blonde, disbelief coloring her features.

"I swear upon the virginity of Ruby that I am the one who dismembered all of these bots." Jaune looked up tiredly, exasperation lacing his voice.

"First off, don't swear upon that cause no. Second off, How am I supposed to believe you when you lied about your transcripts?" Yang glares at him.

"Can y'all just for once admit that maybe I've improved? I've worked my ass off training. Spending entire days in a training room trying to improve. Hell, I even managed to save Weiss and I didn't get a single thank you. I try and try and try again to make y'all respect me, but no. You all will never see me as more than the clumsy vomit boy. I LOST PYRRHA! Imagine losing your partner after she kisses you, confesses, and the shoots you off in a fucking rocket locker. Then when I beg for help you just stand around and kill more grimm before even attempting anything. YOU COULD HAVE SAVED HER!" Jaune is standing up by now, his aura burning back to life as he starts losing his cool.

"Calm down, Jaune. We're all friends here. There's no need to get mad." Ruby tries to calm him.

The air seems like it's growing thicker as Jaune's aura flares up more, almost unnoticable lightning botls running through it as it slowly changes to a dark red color. His hands clench and unclench as he tries to reign in his emotions. Jaune can feel each and everyone of his barriers and facades deteriorating in the storm, every one of them only releasing more fuel for the storm in his mind. Unfortunately for team RWBY, the final bation breaks, and so does Jaune.

"I don't wanna be calm! I wanna rant and rave and stop being used! None of you care! Ren and Norahave eachother and I know damned well you four don't give a single fuck about me! I'm done. Done done done done done!" Jaune lets out an agonized and angry scream. Signaling a massive lightning bolt that from his body and blows a hole in the wall. Jaune looks at the carnage and back at team RWBY before making a break for it, aura enhancing his speed as he does so.

"D-Did that just happen?" Ruby asks timidly, in shock of what just happened.

"Who would've thought Vomit Boy would give us such a SHOCK?" Yang tries to lighten the mood, only to get a glare from Ruby.

"Why couldn't you just leave him alone, huh? Why did I have to lase another friend due to circumstances like this. First Pyrrha and now Jaune. And now you think this is a good time to tell a joke! WE just caused Jaune to run away! He saved Weiss's life and we did nothing! I was so absorbed by having my team back that I forgot one of my best friends lost so much more than we did!" Ruby yells at her older sister, running off into Sanctum, crying her eyes out.

"Great timing with that one, Xaio-Long." Weiss scoffs as she walks off to find Ruby,

"That was a bad one, Yang. Even for you.." Blake walks off, leaving it there for her to stew on.
